Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and ex-SNP chief executive Peter Murrell have "decided to end" their marriage. In a social media post, Sturgeon said the pair had been separated for some time. Murrell was charged with embezzling SNP funds in April as part of a police investigation into the party's finances.

Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell are “still living together” in their family home, sources have revealed, despite the pair’s recent announcement that they have separated. The ex-Scottish First Minister revealed with a “heavy heart” at the beginning of this week that her marriage to the former SNP chief executive was over after almost 15 years.

Nicola Sturgeon has "an entitlement to a private life" following her separation from Peter Murrell, the First Minister has said. John Swinney described the end of the relationship between the former SNP leader and the party's ex-chief executive as a "very sad process".
